Ah yes. All those faketerikan scraps use the same two (fake) stations -
which are just two random well-spaced stations in the fake survey we
generated from the original drawing.
This scheme worked a lot better than using fake stations with each scrap
(as used on the fakebluemoon survey) - that led to a lot of distortions in
scraps where there should have been none.

Thanx - that's useful to know. I've been wondering what all those numbers
meant :-) As you say, a message like 'scrap <foo> is too large to be
processed' would be better.
